The Queen They Buried (by Wynter Vans) novel Chapter 557

Chapter 557

It wasn’t too far from Ridgehaven Town, and a theme park or a unique farm stay would definitely draw in the crowds.

Carmen sobered up considerably and began seriously considering the whole resort idea after hearing Alvin out. Comparing their team’s plan to his suggestions, she felt that hers suddenly paled in comparison.

Since you can’t get into the village right now anyway, you might as well help me out with something else,” Alvin said.
